Child Jesus, Indulgences & Addiction w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 336
Fr. Anthony & Taylor discuss what we should be focusing on during this extended Easter season, the questions of if the benefits of indulgences are worth the confusion & the morality of addiction.
Fr. Anthony joins Taylor for a discussion on what we should be focusing on during the extended Easter season. Taylor also shares a strange insight about the people who grew up around Jesus during the "lost years" of his childhood/teen/young adult years.
Taylor also asks Fr. Anthony about indulgences:
-What are they?
-Why the bad rap?
-Are they worth the confusion?
They also discuss the morality of addiction, especially when addiction leads to other sins. It is a complicated and nuanced discussion on sin, culpability & the depths of the moral life.
